firefox-3.0 crashed with SIGSEGV in gtk_file_system_handle_gnome_vfs_finalize after nfs mount timeout

[Hervé Cauwelier]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I wasn't doing anything special. I just left Firefox on a http page, and when I came back, apport was signalling the crash.

Firefox was open for about a couple of hours.

The most probable cause is that I visited pages using Flash.

you had a nfs file system timeout? did you save or open a file from disk before doing this? how do you mount your shared nfs device? how did you setup your nfs device?

[Hervé Cauwelier (hcauwelier-deactivatedaccount)]

I had two NFS mounts in my fstab, one from my home network and one from the office network. Given it was a laptop, both were set as "noauto", and mounted manually as required.

Apparently, it was trying to mount the home share while I was at the office, but I can't remember if I clicked accidentally on the icon of the Gnome mount applet, or if it happened in the GTK file dialog.

Anyway, I don't have this machine anymore and I have not configured NFS on the new one yet.

I keep this report under the pillow to remember to set up NFS and trying to reproduce the bug.
